I just had a really filling meal and I’m an adult male, and it was 137 calories!
I just calculated the calories and I couldn’t believe it, so I had to share it with someone.
This is basically a really simple cracker-stacker, and that sounds kind of underwhelming, I know, but if you use your imagination, it’s kinda like pizza!
Honestly, I thought it was pretty good for 137 calories.
You will need only 3 simple ingredients:
-Raw mushroom caps cut into 4 slices (3.8 calories per slice)
-Marinara sauce (50 cal. per half-cup= 2.1 cal. per teaspoon)
-Rice snack chips, not cakes, cheddar flavored (7.8 calories ea.)

Just spread a teaspoon of marinara on the rice chip, then stack the mushroom, and make 10 of these on a plate. Sit at the dining table and enjoy slowly with a big glass of cold water, and I can almost guarantee you will feel FULL!
